Larry’s tree, then, is not a hasty memorial, but a fitting one: for a dead soldier. From the previous
pages we have seen Keller as a gentle man, playing with a young boy and having a laugh with the
child and his son, Chris. This shows a new sort of vulnerability about Keller that was not there in Act
One. Chris still avoids telling his mom about the engagement. Jim complains about his income as a
general-practitioner physician, but he knows he would make less as a medical researcher—which
was his dream career as a younger man. Frank bids Annie a hasty goodbye after asking about her
father in prison, saying he should be let out soon. Chris looked up to his Father and now he feels lost
and let down. Annie and George both escape to New York in order to obtain some anonymity,
following the trial that put their father, Steve, in jail, and ruined the family name in the small town.

MANAGEMENT in the. When Keller is alone with Mother we see his true colours, he is hostile and
aggressive. This sparks an angry reaction from Chris as he rushes to defend his father; however, we
can suggest that maybe he rushes to his father’s defence because he suspects it’s true. He also then
refers to tallies, as if his sons where statistics or numbers not humans. Jim makes a quip about how
the block could use a pretty face. Just. Ann is sensitive; she wants to know if the neighbors still talk
about her. Joe Keller, the chief character, is a man who loves his family.He has sacrificed everything,
including his honour, in his struggle to make the family prosperous. But Chris refuses to believe that
Annie could do that to him or to the Kellers, and, as it turns out, Chris is right: Annie has come to
visit with the purest of intentions, and it is only George, with his desire for revenge, who wants
explicitly to harm the Kellers out of a sense of retribution. From this scene we can see how Act Two
has affected the characters. Also, another key theme is crime and punishment, the whole way
through the play Keller is unable to face up to his crimes and accept the punishment due. This

outside to catch him, she saw his tree cut in half by the wind. There are more things that happens to
this family which are very tragic. I think the reference to his ignorance is not Keller defining his
intelligence but rather to comment about how times have changed. Kate, here, indicates to Joe that
she understands why Annie has come to visit—she wants to marry Chris—even though Kate
pretends to all those assembled that she has no idea what Annie could want with the Keller family.
But Kate begs Annie never to say again that her father’s negligent act was responsible for Larry’s

Little is heard in the play about Annie’s mother, who appears simply to be waiting patiently for her
husband to return to her. When, one night, the production line began to turn out cracked cylinder
heads, the night foreman alerted Joe's deputy manager, Steve Deever as he arrived at work. Keller
and Mother are arguing about why Annie has returned. Chris is outraged, questioning his father, “For
me. The audience will be horrified at the tactics Keller employs to avoid responsibility and how he
blames other people, even those risking their lives. Also, once again Keller is relying on Mother, and
ignoring her advice. “Don’t ask me Joe”. This is a clear sign that Mother is giving up and needs
someone to depend on but Keller does not get the hint. Write a review Update existing review

Sue says to Annie “Chris makes people want to be better than it’s possible to be. Keller, on the other
hand, is completely different. ALL MY SONS The action of the play is set in August 1947, in the
mid-west of the U.S.A. The events depicted occur between Sunday morning and a little after two
o'clock the following morning. Kate’s nightmares, which seem to haunt her much of the time, are no
so much premonitions or reenactments of Larry’s fate; they are instead dark, shadowy summaries of
the information Kate already knows: that Larry has gone missing during a flight. This is a fun loving
gesture, showing Keller is a nice man who likes to entertain the kids. He said that he would take
responsibility for this, but could not come in to work, as he had influenza. Nevertheless, every so
often we see an example of Keller’s violent side. Total Pages 218 pages Answer Key Included

or wants to believe, that Annie, too, is waiting for Larry to return. He is then fairly dismissive, saying
she’s not going to be ecstatic but she’s over it. However, just after this direction Bert is embarrassed
and pulls away from Keller. We can also see this with life, Keller depends on others but is not willing
to help, and he runs from his problems instead of facing them or dumps them on others to sort out. In
public Keller is distant, steering conversations away from topics he does not like and avoiding
confrontation always covering up. The lies begin to weave a web of deceit, growing all the time,
until in the end Keller is lying to himself. Keller’s relationship with Kate is teetering on the edge of a
cliff, they act very tense together and normally ending in a fight and example of this is at the end of
Act One, Keller exits slamming the door. Joe asks if Chris, too, doesn’t find it a bit of a coincidence
that Annie comes to visit at the same time George is visiting Annie and George’s father in jail.
Annie and Frank appear uncomfortable around one another, especially Frank, and it seems they had
some kind of courtship, or the inkling of one, in the past. Keller describes him as not understanding
the way the world was made. Also, once again Keller is relying on Mother, and ignoring her advice.

Joe on his sweep of the neighborhood, and asks again to see the jail in the Keller cellar, but Kate
snaps at Bert, claiming there is no jail there. From this we can see that Chris believes in more than
material items. Chris refers to Keller’s beloved business as “that rat - race again”, this shows that
Chris is not inspired by the business and perhaps feels contempt towards it. Keller, on the other hand,
is completely different. It is horrific to think that while others were selflessly risking their lives,
businessmen were benefiting. Kate, once again, is shown to be a masterful manipulator, and an
armchair psychologist. Keller then continues to say: “To you it is, and to me. American brat iii

Another point to note is that Chris is disappointed, he was so proud of his father, always defending
him and his father has thrown it back in his face. As Bert pulls away Keller grabs him by the shirt
and pulls him back. Bert: Tommy said another dirty word to Doris yesterday, and you didn't even.
The family laugh about what has happened but Keller also uses the fact he was in jail to entertain the
kids, using it as a joke and appointing them as police. Keller talks about the day he came back from
jail saying: “Walkin’ down the street that day I was guilty as hell. We see this in his reactions to
Larry’s suicide; he is despondent and no longer cares about anything, not even the business. Annie is
doubly shocked: to hear that George is calling to her, and to know that George is in Columbus,
which is where her father is in jail. The lies begin to weave a web of deceit, growing all the time,
until in the end Keller is lying to himself. When he talks to Lydia he is dismissive about Annie, about
the past. In the stage directions we are told that Keller proceeds to scan the page, softly and in
wonder. Bert is a young boy of about eight and seemingly has a good relationship with Keller.
George, in this sense, is the consummate bearer of bad news—he arrives with new information from
his father, and, like Annie, he comes into the Keller family with information that can tear it apart.
Kate and Chris tiptoe around a discussion of Annie. The entire community shares guilt for allowing
Joe Keller to go free for shipping faulty engine parts that led to many deaths. Get the entire All My

with the kids and have fun. However, as soon as Chris and Annie exit, Keller questions Mother
saying: “What does George want?” This shows us that he is concerned about George’s sudden
arrival. Keller is always asking questions, being suspicious of everyone and everything. Keller has
not quite grasped the concept that just because others were doing it, it does not condone it.
That kind of thing always pays off, and now it's paying off Keller: What do you. At the end of the
scene and the act Keller leaves in “hopeless fury” violently slamming the door. Bert: Tommy said
another dirty word to Doris yesterday, and you didn't even. Thus Steve painted over the cracks in a
small batch of parts, making them appear whole; they were then installed in American fighter planes,
21 of which crashed, killing their pilots. The play had a particularly huge impact as it was first
performed just two years after the war. It is now that we see a contrasting and totally different side
to Keller. Annie’s presence in the small town coincides not just with the shearing of Larry’s tree by
the wind, but with the later revelations of Joe’s involvement in the production of the faulty parts.
Chris is a very idealistic person, in Act Two Sue says to Annie “Chris makes people want to be better

the fact that Chris and Annie exit suggests a secret. Steve called using the phone, steve called Joe at

he was so proud of his father, always defending him and his father has thrown it back in his face. We
see this in his reactions to Larry’s suicide; he is despondent and no longer cares about anything, not

sees them talking; interrupting, she asks Joe if he threw out a bag of potatoes in the kitchen, and Joe
admits that he did, by accident. However, as soon as Chris and Annie exit, Keller questions Mother
saying: “What does George want?” This shows us that he is concerned about George’s sudden
arrival. Even when Mother tells him that doing it for the family does not excuse his crimes Keller
replies “It’s got to excuse it!” Further on in the scene Keller brings up Larry, saying that Larry would
understand, it seems as if Chris is a disappointment. Firstly, when Bert enters Keller swings him
around. This shows a new sort of vulnerability about Keller that was not there in Act One. As Bert

invited Annie to visit because he wants to ask her to marry him, even though he knows that Annie
was once “ Larry’s girl,” and even though Kate will not approve of the union—since it will mean,
symbolically, that Larry is truly dead, and that Chris, Annie, and the rest of the Keller family and
have moved on from Larry’s death. At first glance it seems like Keller is trying to help Annie and
her father “Well, he ain’t my sweetheart, but you gotta forgive, don’t you?” Keller encourages Annie
to forgive her father. From this scene we can see how Act Two has affected the characters. Report

looking for. This is another scene of conflict, but between Keller and Mother, there is also, tension
and hints to secrets. Here the nature of the drama between Joe and Steve is revealed, in full. George
has just been to visit his father, who's shrinking. This also shows us that Keller thinks that by taking
pride in coming back from jail it caused people to change their views on him and decide he was
innocent. All My Sons qualifies as a drama because it's a play, a piece of literature. Chris complains
that Joe wants to fade into the background on important decisions; Chris also says that he has
“reached for things” his entire life, and that, now, he knows what he wants, and is going to take it.
He is forced to accept responsibility - his suicide is necessary to restore the everything in the world,

Cruelty Entangle All Characters in All My Sons Uploaded by bruindog AI-enhanced title and
description All My Sons explores the idea that no one is without culpability, cruelty, or guilt. The use
of the question mark indicates that Keller is perhaps startled that Lydia has brought up the subject of
Annie, a sign that he is feeling guilty. Frank, in his guileless attempts to be nice to Annie, doesn’t
realize that, in fact, he’s stepped right into the hornet’s nest that Annie’s visit has occasioned—by
bringing up Annie’s father’s imprisonment. This is a violent action and shows Keller’s aggression.
This shows how different and contrasting Keller and Chris are. Joe claims he has no more
information about it than Kate does, but Kate realizes Chris wants to marry Annie, and says she will
not permit it: Annie is “Larry’s girl” to Kate. Keller begins as quite a careful character and appears to
be unemotional and detached, however, as the play progresses Keller begins to loose control.
“What’s wrong with you. Ann admits that neither she nor her brother keep in touch with their. But
not to her. You can talk yourself blue in the face, but there’s no body and there’s no grave, so where
are you?” This makes me think that Keller is more concerned about how Chris bringing up the past,
will affect him, rather than the effects it will have on Mother who is clearly still grieving for her son.
Chris wants to be direct but Keller shies away from the confrontation, saying, “How’re you going to
prove it. The playwright hints at Keller’s character traits in the way he speaks and acts. Chris
complains that Joe wants to fade into the background on important decisions; Chris also says that he
has “reached for things” his entire life, and that, now, he knows what he wants, and is going to take
it. I can’t stand all alone.” Despite, this Keller dismisses what she is saying and the tension builds up
causing an argument. Whereas, in Chris’s monologue he talks about the love his men had for each
other during the war. “A little more selfish and they’d’ve been here today”, this shows Chris’s
admiration for his men, also the responsibility that the men had for each other. This is the outcome of
the conflicts and secrets which were revealed in Act Two. You wanted money, didn’t you?” Keller
directly blames Mother saying it was for the family. Annie and Frank appear uncomfortable around
one another, especially Frank, and it seems they had some kind of courtship, or the inkling of one, in
the past. Steve, here and elsewhere, is described as a man who seems to know right from wrong, but
is too nervous to stand up for what he believes in, especially in the face of the overwhelming pressure
that Joe seemed capable of asserting within the company. Chris isn’t sure of what his father is
insinuating; Joe asks, straight-out, if Annie still harbors a grudge against Joe for her father’s prison
term, since Joe averred that Steve acted alone, without Joe’s input, in OK’ing the production of the
cracked parts. As the play begins, Frank Lubey, Joe’s neighbor on the side of the property opposite
Jim’s, enters the backyard and tells Joe and Jim he (Frank) is “walking off his breakfast.” Joe offers
Frank part of the paper to read—Joe himself is reading the want ads, to “see what people want”—but
Frank declines politely, saying all the news in the paper is bad news anyway. On the other hand,
when he is with Mother the tension of whatever Keller is hiding builds up and they end up arguing.
When they work for nothin’, I’ll work for nothin’.” He is beseeching Chris but is going the wrong
way about it; he is using the war to justify his actions, saying everyone was doing it. Later on, Kate
will state that it is simply “unnatural” for a father to kill his son, even by accident, and the
knowledge that Joe has indirectly done just that is enough to send Joe to suicide in the final act.
Chris still avoids telling his mom about the engagement. At the beginning of Act Three we can see
obvious signs that Keller has been affected by the happenings of Act Two. As the two are talking,
Bert comes back to report to Joe on his sweep of the neighborhood, and asks again to see the jail in
the Keller cellar, but Kate snaps at Bert, claiming there is no jail there. When, one night, the
production line began to turn out cracked cylinder heads, the night foreman alerted Joe's deputy

highlighting the differences between them and their attitudes towards Kate. And so Joe must decide
whose fragile emotional state to privilege and protect. Chris used to look up to his father, even calling
him “Joe McGuts”, Chris is shocked to uncover his father’s secrets and guilt. Although Chris assures
her that they aren’t, Annie worries that the issues have never gone away in the small town. Keller
and Mother are arguing about why Annie has returned. Chris tells his father that he and Annie are
getting married, and Joe seems unaffected by this news, as though he has something more important
to tell Chris. Mother is suspicious and Keller acts as if he does not know, covering up the truth,
which is just one of his minor lies. “Look, it’s a nice day. Like All My Children, But Without Any of

Keller’s character traits in the way he speaks and acts. In Joe Keller, Arthur Miller creates just such a
representative type. By acting like the “good guy” it makes his story more plausible. Keller begins as
quite a careful character and appears to be unemotional and detached, however, as the play
progresses Keller begins to loose control. “What’s wrong with you. This is another motif running
throughout the play: the idea that the war “scrambled” the town’s notion of who should end up with
whom, romantically speaking. The audience's first impressions of the Birling family. Also, from the
play we can see how a lie, even just a small lie can spiral out of control, leaving a path of both pain
and destruction behind it. Now Joe reveals more of the story—that he and Steve worked together,
and that only Joe had the “guts” to walk back through the community pretending as though nothing
was wrong. Keller’s relationship with Kate is teetering on the edge of a cliff, they act very tense
together and normally ending in a fight and example of this is at the end of Act One, Keller exits
slamming the door. Chris is so furious, especially when Keller tries to pass on the blame by telling
Chris it was all for him. For Miller, the town and its below-the-surface troubles stand in for the
troubles the entire nation faced in the aftermath of the Second World War. The change of
conversation suggests he is not comfortable and has something to hide, he is feeling guilty. This is
the first indication, to Annie, that she has underestimated Kate’s opposition to the idea that Annie
and Chris might be married.
